What Our Members Say

"When I retired, I wasn't sure how I would stay active and BAJs came to the rescue. I look forward to seeing my BAJ friends."

" The BAJs is a Bloomington gem - so many men come from far and wide to participate in this wonderful program."

"Great bunch of guys who are all still practicing games."

"I appreciate the care and concern the members have for those of us who are progressing in age. They always make me feel part of the team.”

The following is a poem, written by BAJ member Denny Daniels

A band of men, who some deem old
But in their hearts, their youth enfold
More key than which, of sports they play,
Is the zeal, they all display
These are men, far from done
These are men, who play for fun
When time permits, they then compete
With a group of peers, with whom they meet
Outside of sports, these men have lives
Most have children, most have wives
They hold events, to raise the funds
Which help kids climb, life's ladder's rungs
Each is proud, they've joined this band
It fills a need, to show their sand
Those few men, who no longer play
Reminisce, on the good old days
These are men, with pride and zest
An athlete's heart, within their chest
And should you ask, they'll surely say
'I hope my son, joins the BAJ's!
